Last week Jordan started school. He was so excited, he was going to go to school every day during the week. While he was excited, I was going through an emotional tug-of-war. It is such an momentus moment for him and yet I feel so divided. I guess this is how most mothers feel when their child starts school and I feel very grateful to have had an extra year with him and the opportunity to homeschool last year, we both learn't so much from that experience so although I know it is right for Jordan to go to school this year, I am going to miss him. He is going to a beautiful little school where morning circles, mediitation, yoga, music & swimming in the creek are all part of the daily or weekly routine . His teachers are amazing & just love him so I just need to allow myself the space to let go and enjoy this time. My little boy is growing up and is ready for this school.
So far, he is enjoying school and has made a special friend which was very important to him and considering he has gone into a class as the new boy because most of the children have been in the class together since kindy he is settling in very well.
Tearing up here.... i have around 2years left with little ellie.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to come and visit on the holidays so Ellie and Jordan can play together
yes school holidays sound great or let me know if you are going to one of Lindy's homeschooling events and if possible I will go to that or else I will just keep him home for the day!
ReplyDeleteIt is such an emotional time and I think mostly it is harder for mum than the child. If you have a great teacher I think it makes all the difference
